Lithium Battery Fire Safety Built for Riders

Professional-grade lithium fire extinguishers, safety gear, and expert

guides, built specifically for the way riders store, charge, and ride.

Charge Safe: Lithium Fire Safety

Lithium fire safety isn’t just gear, it’s peace of mind.

One Fire Will Change Everything

Jerry Bloodworth used the original charger. He charged in a detached garage. He hadn't modified anything. On August 28, 2025, he still lost a three-car garage, two vehicles, and nearly $200,000.

Most riders who experience a lithium battery fire say the same thing afterward: they didn't know it could happen that fast.

eRideLife exists because the PEV community deserves better information, better equipment, and real stories from riders who've been there.

Testing & Validation

FCL-X has undergone structured evaluation protocols developed to replicate lithium-ion battery propagation scenarios and fire suppression certification standards.

Why Most Fire Extinguishers Won't Save Your EUC, Onewheel, or E-Bike

We sat down with Shane Bentley, co-founder of Full Circle Lithium (makers of FCL-X), to break down why standard ABC extinguishers and even popular alternatives fail against lithium battery fires, and what actually works.

Frequently Asked Questions

What extinguisher do I need for my EUC or e-bike?

It depends on your battery size. We size extinguishers by watt-hours — the 2L covers setups 750Wh and below, the 3L covers anything above that. If you're not sure, check your battery spec sheet or the manufacturer's website. When in doubt, size up.

Why won't a regular fire extinguisher work on a lithium battery fire?

Standard ABC extinguishers suppress combustion — but lithium battery fires aren't conventional fires. Once a cell enters thermal runaway, it generates its own oxygen internally. A lithium-rated extinguisher is formulated specifically for that chemistry. A kitchen extinguisher buys you nothing.

Can I use water on a lithium battery fire?

Water can actually intensify an electrical fire. It's also ineffective at stopping thermal runaway. Use a lithium-rated extinguisher for active suppression, and a garden hose only for cooling a pack after the fire is out and emergency services have cleared the scene.

How close to my charging area should I keep the extinguisher?

Within arm's reach — not across the garage, not in a cabinet. If you have to search for it when a fire starts, it's in the wrong place.

Do you ship nationally?

Yes. Orders typically ship within 3 business days and you'll receive a tracking number as soon as your order ships.

What's your return policy?

We accept returns within 14 days of delivery on unused items in original packaging. Returns may be subject to a restocking fee. Full details here.
